Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings on the West Coast have not been
thoroughly covered in print until now. Between 1909 and 1959,
Wright designed a total of 38 structures up and down the West
Coast, from Seattle to Southern California. These include
well-known structures such as the Marin County Civic Center and
Hollyhock House in Los Angeles, and many lesser-known gems such as
the 1909 Stewart House near Santa Barbara.

clients' relationships with Wright, including insights gleaned from
correspondence with the original owners and interviews with many of
the current owners.
